Mission Statement
To create and deliver innovative solutions that lead to a global movement to remove barriers and liberate the potential of people with disabilities.
About This Cause
In 1985, Rick Hansen set out on the Man in Motion World Tour; a 26 month, 34 country, 40,000 km wheelchair marathon. The Tour raised $26 million and changed the way people with disabilities were perceived. The Rick Hansen Foundation (RHF), established in 1988, is part of its legacy. For over three decades, the Foundation has facilitated collaboration, forged partnerships and generated social innovations. We continue to fund spinal cord injury research and develop programs and initiatives that raise awareness, change attitudes, and remove barriers for people with disabilities, including our School Program, Accessibility Certification Program, and Accessibility Advisory Services.
